5 R0 r4 ^) C7 B$ ~0 M) l+ ZJohn Fryer (1839-1928) was an English missionary and& t* h/ C S5 ]9 T8 [: u
a great translator in the late Qing dynasty (1840-1912).
5 M4 C" S" K; X- e, YDriven by his intense interest in China, Fryer came to! w2 d6 _4 c x7 w3 T" j$ c
Hong Kong in the year of 1861 to serve as the dean of6 k2 t7 [- |# S c6 g6 j" }% g
St. Paul’s College. And in 1868, Fryer was employed
5 }0 p$ k4 l. vby The Translation Department of Kiangnan Arsenal as. Z% R; s7 D( e5 I; u# U
an editor and chief translator. During the 28 years on
) v9 o7 L% l: k7 p" r3 c6 [ rhis job, with the help of his colleague Xu Shou (1818-& S0 p/ O4 h' U! A$ D* G
1884), Fryer translated a great deal of Western scientific* o! a* Y( T) |; U
works and illustrated his translation ideas. As a foreigner,
2 \( V4 e7 n3 Y9 k( \% |Fryer adopted the Buddhist technique of oral instruction.# p" d) z% L$ w* c
Namely, sitting with his Chinese assistant, Fryer dictated
9 J c& a4 ?; K! }1 I9 ?to him sentence by sentence, while the Chinese assistant
: A# b5 O3 B5 q2 iwould transcribe what Fryer said into literary Chinese,
6 v, |( x3 ~! ?$ W1 G, `revise the manuscript and correct errors. By this means,; m1 E; J* a* w& s1 W, R
Fryer translated more than one hundred of Western8 }2 k; q! U. O$ B
books that made him the most productive one among the
* T7 C' r2 ?! iforeign translators of that time (Wang, 1998). For Fryer,

noble work which could help accelerate the process of
